Hello! I’m Carol – an American living in Portugal with my husband. I’m an occasional freelance lifestyle and travel writer with decades of experience in marketing and communications. I'm also the writer and publisher of Our Portugal Journey, a newsletter on the Substack platform about an American couple’s experiences, challenges, and discoveries with moving to, and living in Portugal. I write about interesting people and travel places in Portugal (and not just the touristy stuff). Comments from some of my readers: “I really appreciate your updates and insights on life as an expat! Obrigado!” “I enjoy your informative articles and look forward to learning about the experiences you and Paul have had in your adopted country.” “Thank you for filling my heart today.” “Thanks for your blog! I am always happy to see it in my inbox.” “I really appreciate your willingness to share your experiences, and your grace, skill, and insight as a writer.” “I just love your content and will happily consume anything you have to offer!” Join me on Our Portugal Journey and discover the beauty and diversity of this small European country!
